Help Google Apps won't connect to network after rooting phone (Galaxy s4 mini)

A

Android Question

Guest
Hello,
I'm having problems with my Google Apps like Youtube, Play Store, Chrome, and others that need a network connection. When I try to open them they say "server error" or a similar message.
I recently rooted my phone using Kingo Root, and uninstalled a few of the stock apps (mostly verizon bloatware) so I suspect I may have deleted something I shouldn't have, but I was careful not to delete anything that was important (I thought).
I have tried:
-Checking my date & time (duh)
-Deleting cache & data for the apps
-Rebooting phone
-re-installing Gapps, which I thought would work, but every time I try through "Install update from sdcard" I get verification failed errors. I have tried using three or four different packages from different sources.

The phone is a Galaxy S4 Mini (i435) with stock android 4.4.2
